Happy Birthday Meehazinfrazzin!!!!
Petra and I have been friends for 18 years now. She is my best friend, and my rock (as her name so eloquently suggests).
We met at Silver Creek High School in 1990. Our lockers were next to each other in the courtyard and we had 1st period PE together. During the beginning of the school year, I had to have my dog put to sleep. I was very distraught and barely made it to school that day. I went to go put some things in my locker and Petra was there with her boyfriend (now husband) Jason.
Jason looked over at me and said, "Dude, you look like your dog died". I chocked back tears and said, "My dog did die! We had to put her to sleep yesterday!". Jason went on to tell me about how his dog, Bear, had dies not to long ago in attempt to make up for his blunder.
Petra came up to me during our PE class and apologized for Jason- that was the beginning of our long and wonderful friendship.
Petra has been with me through thick and thin without fail for the last 18 years. I really cannot say enough nice things about her. I think the best present Petra ever gave me was coming to NYC to celebrate my 25th birthday. She, Jason, our friend Mark and I went to go see Rent on Broadway then to Virgil's for a proper southern style meal. We walked back to my Brooklyn apartment in a blizzard and spent the following day snowed in. I hope to return such a wonderful birthday gift to Petra in the near future.
Happy Birthday Meeha!

A proper southern meal in NYC??? Amazing! But perhaps not in NYC.
I called Becky in Tucson from Pnx. years ago to catch up and ask "How are you doing?" she was quiet, passed the phone to her hubby and I heard her say, "I can't do this." She had had to have her dog put to sleep that very day.
